He's doing what our enemies have failed to do

Wednesday, July 3, 2013

Listening to President Obama’s prescription for prolonging the longest recession in American history the other day, his proposed “climate action plan” which is nothing more than a war on coal and eventually all fossil fuel energy, crippling jobs and job creation in the process, I had to wonder what our enemies in Russia and China and elsewhere were thinking. Since the founding of this country, our enemies have plotted to weaken this country and have failed abjectly because we have had stalwart leadership.

In five short years, however, this president (in collusion with his socialist-leaning colleagues), increasingly now through executive orders bypassing democratic consent, has set in motion programs and policies which promise to turn us into the kind of society we witness overseas with chronic un/under-employment, perpetual strikes and general civic unrest. And why? Why has it been necessary to willfully change a working formula, the most successful economic system in the history of the world, one which has brought prosperity to more people than in any other system? To chase the ever-elusive Marxist mirage of “everyone’s equal” and by God, if they’re not, we’re going to “make it so”?

Immediately after the election last fall, many wondered how this president was re-elected in the midst of a putrid economy, a pitiful jobless recovery, with Obamacare so patently unworkable, so unpopular, with Obama and Clinton so obviously lying about Benghazi, having displayed cowardice, above all, in deserting our men under fire; imagine how much LESS important their lives were, after all, than the re-election of the infallible Barack Hussein Obama! (When it’s explained in that context, it’s understandable, don’t you see.)

OK, so the media was shilling for the president, so what’s new, everyone knew it, but still. NOW, however, we know the extent of the fix, for that’s exactly what it was; a fix. The IRS was in on the game, ordered, either directly or indirectly, to go after anti-Obama groups and cripple them through the election cycle, plain and simple. Result: media, IRS, advantages of incumbency, the bully pulpit, etc, = mission accomplished. In the immortal words of the Wall Street Journal: “Now safely re-elected, Mr. Obama figures he can do what he pleases. The Americans who will be harmed will have to console themselves with 99 weeks of jobless benefits, food stamps and Obamacare.”

Ironic that the people who are being hurt the most by this president are the “little” people he and his party pretend to represent, and nothing will hurt them more than the new immigration bill should it pass in its present form, flooding the market with cheaper labor, stealing jobs from current low-wage earners, and further lowering wages for those lucky enough to keep their jobs.
